Tickets

WEEKEND

A Weekend ticket allows you to camp at the Festival all weekend. The gates open at 12 noon on Thursday 21 June when the fun begins. There are showers, loos, bars and food concessions throughout the Campsite. A Camping ticket gives you unlimited re-entry to the Festival throughout the weekend. Once the weekend is over, you will need to leave the Campsite by 2pm on Monday 25 June.

DAY TICKETS

Day tickets allow you access to the festival on the designated day ONLY. Your day ticket does NOT entitle you to camp. You will be allowed unlimited entry & re-entry on the day of your ticket.

STUDENT

You can buy a Student ticket if you hold a valid NUS or other official card (as at 21 June 2018). You will be required to produce your card on arrival at the Festival box office. A Student ticket allows you to camp if you want to. Please note if you are a Student between 16-17 (as at 21 June 2018) we suggest you buy a Teen ticket because this is cheaper. Subject to availability.

We are pleased to offer Teen tickets this year to all teenagers aged between 13-17 years old (as at 21 June 2018). Teens must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 years or over (there must be at least one adult per booking). A teen ticket allows you to camp if you want to.

VIP DAY OR WEEKEND TICKETS

We are pleased to be able to offer VIP tickets again through our partner, Mark Butler Associates. These tickets give you exclusive access to our VIP Lounge and garden so you can relax while watching all the acts on the Main Stage. The VIP Lounge has a bar and food stalls, its own loos and other benefits. There is a VIP Campsite with its own loos and showers located near to all the entertainment.

CAMP KERALA - THE ULTIMATE IN FESTIVAL LUXURY

Camp Kerala will be back again, providing the very best in backstage accommodation and hospitality at the Isle of Wight Festival 2018.

Staying with us at Camp Kerala, a mere stone’s throw from the heart of the festival, offers you the chance to experience not only life at our exclusive 'home from home' but also the ultimate way to experience the IOW Festival.

A FEW LITTLE EXTRAS

We know that camping isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but that shouldn’t stop you from coming and enjoying the Festival. Why not take advantage of our wonderful Island and stay in a local hotel or holiday cottage? Our friends at Classic Cottages have some beautiful properties to rent and they will look after your every need. Alternatively you could stay in one of the many hotels the Island has to offer.

If you are arriving by car you can park in one of our onsite car parks. Whether you are travelling to us from one of the ferry terminals or from anywhere on the Island you will be directed to the appropriate car park.

You can pay for parking on the day but we advise you pay for it in advance when booking your Festival ticket.
